Join Us in Changing Lives
The Turning Points Gala is a powerful and inspiring social event that honours the strength of individuals and families impacted by domestic violence and abuse in our community. Each year, we support approximately 20,000 individuals on their journey toward safety, healing, and healthier relationships. This evening celebrates their courage and the life-changing work of FearIsNotLove.
The event brings together compassionate individuals and community leaders who believe in creating lasting change. It is more than just a night to remember, it is an opportunity to connect, reflect, and invite your guests to learn more about a meaningful cause, while supporting our programs and resources that transform lives.
Everyone has the right to feel safe, respected, supported and loved.
Together, we can create a safer and healthier community. Your contribution will ensure that those impacted by domestic violence and abuse receive support in their time of need, and the continued innovative work of FearIsNotLove.
